One OF the most amusing and brightest
little books that has come to US this Sum-
mer is Cultures Garland" from the pen of
my bald-hesded. big-eyed friend. Eugene
Field The book is made up OF his sketches,
most OF which have been published in the
Chicago Ns,es, as Gene says it is ms
moranda of the gradual rise of litera-
ture. art, music and society in Chi
cago and other Western ganglia." There
Is an exquisite introduction by Jclian Haw-
thorne, in which the latter SAYS many
pleasant things of Mr.. Field. He says
He has never jested heedlessly or cruelty
No man born on this ccatinent is
. more robust American than he; no man
scents q sham more unerringly. or abomi
mates Il more effectively; no mans ideal o
American literature is higher or sounder
We shall hear of Eugene Field in
regions of literature far above the aim snC
scope of these witty and waggish sketches.
The book is published by Ticknor 4 Co., o
Boston. in the paper series, and is sold for &
cents. II contains beautiful portrait of th'
author at the age Of 80. opens with th'
Chicago Literary Circle. "a ring of ssu
